Donald Trump believes in two incredibly stupid ideas: the first is that vaccines cause autism, and the second is that massive amounts of snow and extreme cold weather disprove global warming.
Even the staunchest conservatives are having to acknowledge that climate change is a real phenomenon – they’re just holding out on the fact that it’s linked to human behavior.
The beautiful thing about Trump is that he voices his ignorance loudly, and often. In a tweet he fired off on Valentine’s Day, he regurgitated that old fallacy that uses singular weather events as a way to refute the climate change model.
Record low temperatures and massive amounts of snow. Where the hell is GLOBAL WARMING?

Of course, there are always the loyal Trump bots that he’s cultivated in the last two election cycles who’ll bow at his every word. But the majority of responses to his dumbness in 140 characters-or-less amounted to outright mockery.
“@realDonaldTrump: Record low temperatures and massive amounts of snow. Where the hell is GLOBAL WARMING?” WTF idiot..that IS global warming

@realDonaldTrump At least your misinformation on this subject isn’t as dangerous as your anti-vaxxer idiocy.

You’re an idiot. Learn the difference between weather and climate then check the facts. Then do something about your hair. @realDonaldTrump
